WHERE ARE THEY NOW The Draft Season 3 Part 1

Hello again people. You remember when we took a look back at seasons 1 and 2 a few months ago. Well its time to see how the kids from Season 3 have fared. It was amazing how many are no longer with thier original teams and also some high picks were lost in the R-5 Draft. I'm working on Part 2 and will have it out soon. Enjoy!!

#1

Wayne Snyder

Kickapoos
Age: 26B/T: R/R
Born: La Moille, IL
Position(s): 2B/SS/CF

SIGNING BONUS: 6,840,000 Plus Spring Training Invite

The First pick in this draft was made by the Kickapoos. Yes the Kickapoos. I know its hard to believe, but they used to Suck.LOL. Anyways this kid has not disapointed MARK one bit. He spent 5 years in the minors where he hit .333,150 Homers, 536 RBI's. Wayne (World) Snyder also picked up 3 Silver Sluggers and an all-star MVP. Then he was called up in Seasons 7 roster expansion.And has been a starter at 2nd base ever since. So far in the bigs he has hit .271 , 97 Homers and slugged in 321 ribbies.And hes added 2 all-star Games a Silver Slugger and a Gold glove to his accolades.  His one disapointment is his play in the post season. A .238 post season batting average hurts this team.

In three M L seasons he has played in 3 all-star games and picked up 3 more Silver Sluggers,while hitting .299,136 Homers,428 RBI's and 177 stolen bases.So what did the Turkeys do at the start of season 11. They trade this Franchise player to the Kickapoos. The Turkeys may never get another player like this.

SIGNING BONUS: 3,820,000

The New York Highlanders drafted this 22 year old and wish they hadn't. Lloyd (Penny) Marshall has been a bust. He has spent most of his Career in the Minors where he won 62 games and lost 51. It was mainly due to Elbow surgery in Season 7. Marshall was called up in season 10 after a ownership change. And is 9-15 so far. Perhaps he can turn it around .Anyways he's only making the minimum salary, so its worth a try.

He spent 4 years in the Moonbats Farm system and hit .313,151 Homers and 500 Ribbies. Buckley also grabbed an MVP, Rookie of the Year and a Silver Slugger while in the minors. So when he was called up Early in season 7 . Sordie expected big things from this high dollar player. So far he has hit .297,130 homers and 436 RBI's in the Bigs. So far Buckley has been demoted from the Bigs to AAA. Then back to the Bigs again .Then back to AAA and finally back to the Bigs. YO-YO indeed?
